Cooking rocks

I believe Myka has a thread in regards to cooking and curing LR might be worth a read

I have been looking it up and from what I have seen, cooking does not get rid of aptasia and mojano. Can anybody confirm?

it didn't work for me, but peppermint shrimp and berghia nudibranches seem to be working really well for the aiptasia

Found it thanks, he says once a week until all tests are 0

As far as aptasia goes I've heard people have had success cooking them out.

Myka is a She

I've been cooking my rock since Feb 2nd and the one Aptasia I can't get at is still there. I'm going to have to leave the lid off for a day and then go after it

Are you cooking it in a Rubbermaid so it's pitch black?

And my apologies to myka.

[gregzz4]

Yup, covered rubbermaid. I trimmed a little off the lid lip for the power cords.

I mentioned taking the lid off for a day. If you aren't aware - going after Aptasia in the dark causes them to throw babies

Lovely, may have to resort to pep shrimps after the cooking process to take care of them.

If you can use a pipette to squirt lemon juice on them, try that and then it's recommended to cover them after with some reef epoxy.
There are youtube vids if you wanna try it.
I did it over a month ago on one and got lucky. It didn't spawn and I never covered it up 'cause it was buried in a hole.
Actually, it was Feb 10th, so I know it worked as there aren't any new ones to see.

You'll probably be more successful with Berghia
